And let’s join Kathryn, our leader in It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?, at Book Date.

I finally finished my third book of the week. My pattern remained similar to previous weeks. The first book flew by, the second one competed with other activities, and I was still reading the third one this morning (Saturday). But I enjoyed each book. I’m feeling a little under the weather, with a sore throat…unusual for me, since I take allergy pills and other medication for these issues. I always suspect something in the air, and I did go out and about more this week.

I enjoyed my usual TV shows, although I still have a few to watch on the DVR. I started a new Netflix series: Northern Rescue, with William Baldwin and Kathleen Robertson. I also watched some old favorite movies, including one of my old DVDs, St. Elmo’s Fire, a Brat Pack film from the 80s that takes me back to my younger days.

It was a pretty good blogging week, too, and I had fun making new headers for some of my sites.

Let’s grab some more coffee…or even some tea for my sore throat…and take a closer look at my week.

I just finished Someone Always Knows the other day. I ended up liking it better than I thought I would after I had read all the mixed reviews on Goodreads. I guess the bottom line is people have to read and see for themselves if they will like it or not.

Oh I’m listening to Better Sister right now. I also got The Long Call. I had an allergy flair up also after raking a bunch of tree droppings. I take pills and use a nasal spray. Luckily it only lasted one day.

I hope you have a great week where you feel better and only read amazing books!

I hope you soon feel a lot better, Laurel – there’s also a lot going around here, too. I’m intrigued to see that you have got an Anne Cleves – with the start of new series. I hope you enjoy it. And thank you for posting the pie – I’m going to virtually consume it and tell myself I’m full as the Easter break has left me needing to shed some pounds! Have a good week.

Thanks, Erin, I need to buy some honey when I shop later today. It is so soothing. I vote for chocolate as an antidote to almost anything…LOL.

Rob Lowe is one of my favorites from back in the day, and while he was fun as a young actor, and I loved him in St. Elmo’s Fire, he only got better with age. I especially enjoyed him in the series Brothers and Sisters.

I take Zyrtec and/or Allegra for allegries, but some times of the year (spring, especially) are just bad for me, no matter what I take, so I can relate. I can’t believe you forgot to post your pumpkin pie, especially a la mode. But now I’m hungry! Think I’ll have to go find something. 🙂

St. Elmo’s Fire is a blast from the past… I remember enjoying that back in the day! Mrs. Everything looks good, as does the pumpkin pie. Not sure why I never think to make it except in the fall. Hope you’re feeling better today.

Thanks, Yvonne, I’ve been staying inside, sipping juice and tea…and I feel better. I think it was allergies. But I decided not to go out, like I had planned. I’m curled up with Someone Knows, which I’m enjoying.

The St Elmo’s theme throws me right back to my teenage years, I had such a crush on Rob Lowe and Andrew McCarthy..
Northern rescue was a bit twee for me, I’m currently binging Lucifer in preparation for the new season.

Thanks, Trish, I haven’t seen any movies in this era that have grabbed me like those brat pack movies, probably because those films do resurrect my younger years. I was older than a teen then, but still a teen at heart. LOL.

Wild Fire was my first read by Anne Cleeves and I loved it so I’m really interested in reading The Long Call. I hope you enjoy the Mother-In-Law. It was a fabulous read even though I found it a little depressing. I like this cover more than the Australian one.
